Authorities in Audubon say an attempt by a man to pass himself off as another person, has landed him in jail. 29-year old Robert Lenard Wenninger, of Audubon, was arrested Friday following a traffic stop, for Failure to have a Valid License, and Malicious Prosecution. The Audubon Police Department says Wenninger allegedly attempted to identify himself as another person, in order to avoid prosecution. Wenninger was brought to the Audubon County Jail and later posted a $1,000 cash bond.

And, the Audubon Police Department reports the arrest on Feb. 6th, of 34-year old Tesha Joy Stevens, of Audubon. Stevens was taken into custody on a charge of Public Intoxication, after officers responded to a report of a woman standing on a roadway.
